Re: Switches
mechanically a heavy duty switch is designed to be switched thousands, or tens of thousands of times, and mounted someplace where it might see lots of rough handling
less expensive switches are used for things that dont get turned on and off that often.
Also pay attention to the contact current ratings. If they are referring to the current a heavy duty switch will handle more.
A medium or light duty switch would be ok for your operator interface control box. If you are going to put switches on your robot (to select different auton modes for example) they should be heavy duty switches if there is ANY chance they will get bashed during a match.
